Fun Colors
Sketch Ideation
Quick initial sketches to develop ideas on paper. These Design concepts focused on combining characteristics of industrial design styles, such as exposed parts and minimalism, with those of gadget-like devices, including buttons and dials.
Sketch Refinement
CAD Modeling
CAD Modeling helps determine the overall form and proportions of the night light, as well as analyze snap fit components.
